Reddit banned the sub-reddit community Lolicons Unite for containing “sexually suggestive content of minors”. Well, several more communities themed around loli characters and animes have been banned, some of which contained lewd content and others that didn’t.

According to
Kotaku In Action, this comes from a new rule that Reddit is enforcing to ban certain sub-reddits. Hence, Reddit administrators have continued the crackdown on the lolicon communities after enforcing the policy about prohibiting sexual or suggestive content featuring fictional minors, which is available on the
Reddit Help page, where it states…

“Reddit prohibits any sexual or suggestive content involving minors or someone who appears to be a minor.

“This includes child sexual abuse imagery, child pornography, and any other content, including fantasy content (e.g. stories, “loli”/anime cartoons), that depicts encourages or promotes pedophilia, child sexual exploitation, or otherwise sexualizes minors or someone who appears to be a minor. Depending on the context, this can in some cases include depictions of minors that are fully clothed and not engaged in overtly sexual acts.

“If you are unsure about a piece of content involving a minor or someone who appears to be a minor, do not post it.”

This particular policy is separate from the one that Reddit employed six years ago relating to “jailbait” material involving persons, as detailed in a post titled
“A necessary change in policy”.

Over on the sub-reddit
Reclassified, they list off all of the sub-reddits that have been banned a month ago as well as the sub-reddits recently banned. The complete list of banned subs in lieu of the new policy are below:

While many people within the thread were quick to denounce lewd loli content or loli content in general, they were rather perturbed that some non-loli content was caught up in the ban, specifically the sub-reddit UnitedLolicons, which did not contain any adult content, or the adult sub-reddit for
New Game!,
which did not contain lolis.

The reason that some people began to worry about this form of censorship is because the anime isn’t even about lolis.
New Game!‘s
MyAnimeList
description reads…

“Since childhood, Aoba Suzukaze has loved the Fairies Story game series, particularly the character designs. So when she graduates from high school, it is no surprise that she applies to work at Eagle Jump, the company responsible for making her favorite video game. On her first day, she is excited to learn that she will be working on a new installment to the series: Fairies Story 3—and even more so under Kou Yagami, the lead character designer.”

Some people have claimed that this is a crackdown on loli content to comply with
FOSTA/SESTA, but that relates to communications oriented around sex-related solicitation and not fictional material. A few people suggested that Reddit, like Valve, is simply cracking down on potentially illegal material. For Reddit’s case that could be a possibility, but in Valve’s case they still host fictional
pornographic material featuring underage characters.

Some have shopped around the theory that this is in lieu of Tencent looking to purchase more stake in Reddit, as reported by
The Motley Fool.

There’s a running theory that since China has very strict censorship laws, Reddit is slowly starting to clean up some of its NSFW content, including lolicon communities. This theory was put forward over on the
Visual Novels sub-reddit
by Bonesy from Top Hat Studios.

The thread itself was about one of the top anime moderators on Reddit, Holofan4life, being banned for posting a non-lewd image of a non-loli character on
February 7th, 2019.

The general consensus is that this is the slippery slope in action, and we’re seeing a slide from lolicons being banned into more nebulous areas where people deciding that “young looking” characters are enough to warrant a ban as well, even if they’re over 18, like the sub for
New Game!
being banned, or when Valve banned
Victory Project, which had nothing to do with schools or underage characters.

The writing is on the wall for a lot of people, recognizing that the censorship will likely steadily increase, moving from lolis and “legally gray” content, into general anime or hentai. The censorship happening across the industry has been rather obvious, and it was always a matter of time before it began to escalate.

Mushbrains ok with loli being banned, "not the hill to die on", now realizing that what is or isn't a loli is entirely subjective and will eventually be applied to any female anime character that doesn't adhere to woke western standards. Shit, I've seen people claim the milfs in Huniepop are 'underage'. The only non-retarded way to handle this is to treat drawings as just that: a fucking formation of lines and colors.

SJWs want to kill anime, manga and Japanese games that are filling the vacuum left after they turned western comics, cartoons and videogames into shit

Loli is their weakest point, both legally and socially. No normies are going to openly defend something that might get them tagged as pedos

I dont know how they are going to defend themselves against this, they missed their chance to stop censorship of cartoons a long time ago. Its so freaking easy to claim a cartoon is underage, IT HAS NO AGE, its an effing drawing, it is not real. But its waaaay too late to use that defense now that institutions are taken over.

The fact that they can't distinguish fact from fiction, let alone even understand logic just shows how fetal their reasoning actually is, but then again they love the attention that this awards them, no matter how insane they look or far off the reservation they proceed to go.

Quite often dealing with these regressive left nut jobs is like trying to interpret several episodes of Twin Peaks all at once, and you end up hurting yourself because of this.

I say we go the opposite, declade all anime girls with b cup or less tits loli and if neone sees porn of it treat it as if it was real so they get on the sex offenders list as well as the ass rape in prison. If you make it illegal surely these barbaric men will stop looking at it.

I still think we should go more the nuclear option and just do what South park did to protect it's extreme style of humor and just get courts to declare loli related materials and even maybe anime in general as a protected form of entertainment by Law.

Then we can just watch all these NPCs drive themselves continuously into a wall with some popcorn on hand as they try to get such protections reversed.

Thats not the nuclear option, that option if used can only be used pnce and once used the world will change for ever. The real nuclear option is to flood the internets most normal sites with loli hentai, after the media gets a hold of it, and by flood i mean 1000s of posts on every subreddit with lolis ditto for disqus and facebook/twitter this will take massive botting, then march of washington 1 million strong with hug pillows in arms as well as shirts with the waifu of our choice for our freedom of artistic expression. Then while this is going on we pay hackers to hack politicians to dig up all the dirt, you think the governer in viginia was bad i bet you all of them are just as bad if not worse, then use it to lobby a bill to legalize lolicon art as not obscene. That is the only way till then we shall live in the morally grey.

I definitely agree with this true nuclear option, those hackers would have to make sure that those politicians and others opposing common sense are truly shown across all forms of social media are in favor of all kinds of loli media by showing them in the most compromising positions available in regards to loli media, including going to love live concerts with these hug pillows in arms.

Could even try more ridiculous guerrilla tactics involving the concept of subliminal messaging through slowly sabotaging general media by replacing bits of it with loli media to try and normalize it, using hackers to try and project loli media on various normie channels such as Netflix and normal TV, to even showcasing on various news outlets, in a similar manner to the tactics of the characters in Shimoneta.

Then again fans of anime did get a handbook on how to deal with the oncoming attack on their hobbies in the form of the excellent and insightful anime series Shimoneta. Long live SOX!!!!!!!

The thing is with their insane arguments they always try to 'change the goalposts' without any proper ex[explanations or explorations to what it is they are trying to achieve with their NPC butt hurt arguments. Even when you prove them wrong over and over again they like to 'hold their beer' and one up themselves with their own insanity.

I would say that the creators of this show and any owners of gay bars who peddle in this kind of degenerate shit would be horsewhipped but then considering the freaky kinds of shit they are putting these kids through, I wouldn't be surprised if they got off on that kind of punishment.

I need eye bleach. Those clothes dont have an ounce of charm and neither do those poses or fake smiles. Any healthy ordinary kid in casual clothes just standing normally would have looked better.

Its a surprisingly fine example of the modern world.They took something that would have been nice if you left it as is. Then they broke it down, pumped it full of artificial things, and said the result is great. It makes me think of those who take a tree older than themselves and make paper plates out of it.

I know that i keep going back to this video but these days it gets more and more relevant the further down the rabbit hole that the gaming community and anime community goes to combat the SJW/NPC pestilence and it's lingering effects.

I mean Billy even discussed such things in his excellent article about that dubious charity that pushed this kind of agenda:

A great example of REAL exploitation of children. And they call loli content pedo-bait, and then you see this...

At least REAL governments go after stuff like this. The UK is cracking down on grooming gangs... Well I'm sure they'll get around to it eventually... After they acknowledge that grooming gangs exist... And after they figure out a way of arresting Muslims without somehow being racists... Well they're probably just busy with real criminals, like Count Dankula...

Reddit prohibits any sexual or suggestive content involving minors or someone who appears to be a minor.

"... or someone who
APPEARS
minor"

They're taking this shit to anime. Anime. Fucking Anime, where each artist and their mother's animation studios' artsyle are so different that it's hard to tell what is what unless you look into it for more details, something puritans would never do. Hell, they'll see any weeb shit that has cutesy fartsy artstyle with characters that has no obvious tits and cleavage and they'll just straight up say it's full of "minors" because it's their own depiction of minors are. Their own assumption.

Well to this day they still try and claim Senran Kagura as having underage characters without any reference to where they get this kind of information from or any remote evidence to even back these delusional claims, but then again nothing really surprises me anymore.

J. Scheineier is radioactive, toxic cancer ......He is not stupid, and this make him more dangerous.Work for money ( like all others ), but if you analyze his writing easy can see how this dude is mentally ill and degenerate.... so he live in his personal paradise, spit his sickness around and someone pay him.

They don't even understand the concept of different art styles that are used often to encapsulate the ridiculousness of any comedy in anime, often called the 'chibi' art style, used in such shows as Tenjou Tenge and older Rumiko Takashi comedies to enhance the comedic effect of the style of comedy used in these types of anime, such as the classic anime Ranma 1/2 that often used this type of style to great comedic effect. But then again in these NPCs punch drunk eyes everything looks the same to them just because they have a limited, delusional, fetal outlook on anything that is different form them. Considering that they are all engineered to not understand anything remotely human, even human emotion, which limits them from even understanding anything related to comedy, considering that would mean they would have to be programmed to have human emotions, which they are sorely lacking.

The irony is while leftists fight for later and later abortions and while they turn a blind eye to little girls being victimized by muslims in Europe thanks to Open Border jackasses they are fighting to protect fictional kids

Think about that

Liberals fight harder to keep fictional drawings from being sexualized but can't be bothered to care when a real underage girl is raped by a Muslim

You're right. You're absolutely right. So it's time too outlaw abortion and stop all the European Muslim rapes or use those examples to point at how stupid censoring and prohibiting loli is. It's time for the EFF to make a statement about reddit censorship.

Also, I'm pretty sure you're trolling, but I actually agree with all of that.

If you don't want a kid wear a condom and take birth control. With those two things together conception rates are basically reduced to zero.

I don't have an issue with Muslims if they are law abiding, learn the native language, and integrate into the society they immigrate to.

I don't approve of censoring art, any art, even loli.

And frankly if reddit continues with policies like this going forward, all they will do is push off centrists and right-wingers turning reddit into a left wing echo chamber that will slowly die over the course of 3-10 years.
